Walking Beam Control System

Operator control is via an advanced "State of the Art" touch screen panel offering efficient and intuitive set-up and control. A high resolution 10.4" color touch screen sealed to IP66 controls all functions of the machine. All transfer & filling parameters are saved to unique alpha-numeric product codes providing users with ultra rapid change over times.

1024 product codes are available ensuring that even the vast range of products and / or containers that in some cases an installation will be required to handle, can be readily be catered for.

The control system provides a host of statistical information, including average weight, standard deviation, CPk, CPk+ & CPk- (6 sigma)

All Servo & inverter drives connect to the central control panel via CAN bus link that also monitor each individual drives status and error conditions in the unlikely eventuality of a problem occurring.

Sophisticated diagnostic monitor and alarm reporting is included, providing both pictorial & informative information on any problem, both within the machine itself & if connected, peripheral equipment both downstream & upstream of the Walking Beam machine.

An Ethernet port is included to allow connection to factory network. This allows for remote backup / restore of recipe & machine parameters, and the option to view the control screen in real time remote to the packing line, this can be useful for monitoring production and line efficiency. Optional "FillerNet" PC software is available for logging all individual discharges, and full statistics of each production run, as well as live graphs illustrating current statistics. This data can subsequently be re-loaded by a "FillerNet" client at any time to review / print raw data, running statistics, and a variety of graphs. Files are saved in "csv" format, and can also be opened by third party applications such as Microsoft Excel for viewing / modeling etc.

An RS232 printer port is also provided allowing hard copy reports to be produced of recipe & machine parameter settings.

The operator panel is multi-lingual, allowing for instant language switching.

NEW MACHINE LAUNCH

‘EasiFill’ EF-III/PB Gravimetric Siamese Auger filler

Featuring direct drive servo system for use in automatic bag / box presentation machines

The design shown is for use with a Vertical form Fill & seal machine where accurate weighing of portions is required to maintain productivity and remove the requirement of Re-Work. Each discharge is dynamically weighed during filling to ensure exact weight, and discharged alternatively from two filling points, into a collection tube with timing flap. This timing flap reduces the possibility of dust in the sealing area & enables good speed with accuracy on difficult to handle products such as food & Bakery ingredients.

As each portion is weighed, statistical data can be sent via an Ethernet connection to a networked PC or server reference & traceability. Data includes production speed, throughput KG, Batch Size, Standard Deviation, Average weight, min & max weight, no of discharges & CP (Control process data CP CPk+ CPk-). A high resolution colour touch screen continually shows the status of the machine, the weights of each discharged portion and current batch & shift filling statistics.

Recipe recall & bulk product feed set up can also be stored to a Bar code and subsequently selected using bar code reader. This ensures machine set-up integrity without the worry of human error.

The equipment displayed is capable of, but not limited to:-

Making weighed portions from 500 gram to 5000 gram.
Portions above 2500 gram based on double discharge, i.e. both weigh-pans.

- Capacities guaranteed to be:

  • 25-30 portions/minute at 500 – 1500 gram
  • 20-25 portions/minute at 1501 – 2000 gram
  • 15-20 portions/minute at 2001 – 2500 gram
  • 10-12 portions/minute at 2501 – 5000 gram

- Accuracies:

  • 500 to 1500 gram -10 / +10 gram
  • 1501 to 2000 gram -10 / +15 gram
  • 2001 to 2500 gram -15 / +20 gram
  • 2501 to 5000 grams -15 / +20 grams
